Author: yeyell15
Pairing: TaDaiki, Yabunoo, Hikaru Yaotome
Summary: After all, in that place time is just a blink of an eye.
Chotto-STOP!: This is Hikaru’s POV
Do you believe in the saying "’til death, do us part”? Me? I really don’t believe in such. It’s superficial and too cliché. However, when I met these two people, they made me believe in such a thing. Because how doubtful I may seem to you guys now, I am being honest and true. Although all is still up to you, especially the way you want to see all of these things. It is still all up to you and what you strongly want to believe in. But, one thing I can be sure of is that, whether you believe me or not. These two dear friends of mine, they loved at the same time. They felt happiness at the same time. That’s why, in contrast to what they’ve felt together, amongst those happy things. The two of them as well, they felt the sorrow and the pain. They both felt it raging down at the same time, yet up until now, I still wonder why. Especially after losing the ones they love most in the world; not once did I ever see either of them, cry.
And if I can go back in time, I’d like to remember those times when I watch the two of them flail over their lovers. It was funny as is. Yet, it was sweet at the same time, because what they have. It is something pure and true. It’s a love that is not worth to mar. It’s a love that is worth to keep and to die for. Because if you can see it all back then, if you can stand on my view and see it through my perspective, you can say so for yourself that what these people have, it is something amazing. Better yet, it is also something to be treasured about. Because the little things like: how these two spoil their lovers too much, how they fight over the very little things like: who will get that last piece of food, who will be the one to wear that hat and many, many more, is something breathtakingly amazing. And that simple thing and that simplest form of affection and love, that is something that no one can ever top, not even replaced.

"No! This is mine!" the short guy with chubby cheeks protested, while grabbing the piece of chocolate from his lover. “You already ate five of those! Give it to me!!!" this time, a tall tanned guy retorted. "I won't give it to you!" and off he goes, the shorter one ran outside the room. "Oy! Daiki come back here!!!" the latter followed suit.
Those moments of their laughter, I actually witnessed it. And every single time, I never fail to ask myself of the question why…why fight for such stupid things? Why fight for something that is trivial? Why fight for just something like a piece of chocolate that can be manufactured and be replaced? Why? Then every single time as well, as I ask those questions in my head, they never fail to give me what I want. They always give me answers…answers that are as simple, but as meaningful as their love.

"If we don't fight over such trivial matters then maybe we don't actually love each other...”
"What the hell Yuya? I was asking seriously here..."
***
Then my complaint was answered by a shrill sound of laughter. And back then, I would only shrug it all off, because really if I’d be honest with everyone and myself, I really didn’t understand what he said, because honestly, during that time as well. I didn’t want to understand it all: his words, their conversation and their meaningless actions, because that time I didn’t need to. Well, unlike now.

“Hey~ I’m still reading that!” a pale guy protested when his book was stolen from him. “You’ve been reading and you are actually ignoring your handsome boyfriend you know...” the tall lanky guy said.”And just where is that handsome guy?!” the pale guy teased while pretending that he was looking for a handsome guy. “Hey...” a pout followed that made the pale guy to let out a soft giggle. “What?” he asked the sulking guy beside him, “...” that silent response made him smile even more “Oh c’mon, Kota...” a gentle caress “you know already that you're the most handsome guy for me..." a kiss on the forehead "and you're the only one for me~" he hummed, which made the older one smile. "I know Kei..." he pulled Kei closer and trapped him into his embrace, while smelling the sweet scent of his lover as the younger cuddle close to him "I love you..."
"Hey you two, go and find another place to flirt will you?!"
"Ahh~ he got mad~" they hummed together, as if they are mocking the fuming me.
***
Yes, those cheesy moments I was actually pissed off by those. How could you blame me? They are flirting in front of the single me for goodness sake. How can they be so inconsiderate?! Both of them Yuya and Kota, they felt those moments at the same time, well yeah, leaving their best buddy behind of course.
Okay, I know, enough with myself pitying thing. Back to where I was, my two dear friends who fell in love, who found the other end of their red string. And if you will ask me, if they were lucky to fell in love, for me, it was their luckiest moment. To love someone, to have someone who is dear to you, but as they fell at the same time, they also broke at the same time.

"Dai-chan, the sun is setting now; it's time for dinner..." Yuya chuckled and stared at his lover's face. His expression, it was peaceful, not even a single tear escaped his eyes. He just sat there and watched him, his Daiki sleep…a sleep which is for eternity.
"Kei~ look at the shelf, it's full of your favorite books already." Kota smiled looking at the shelf they built together. He stayed still, no movements at all. He just held his hand, tightly. And never paid attention on how cold the hand he was holding at all.
***
As I watch them be like that, I can’t help but to feel hurt, it was like I was the one who lost something. I kept on wondering why they didn’t feel sad at all, or maybe they did but they just couldn’t show it. I became much more frustrated after days had gone by, and I continued to ask myself Why are you guys so calm?! Didn’t your lovers die? Are you wondering if I asked them that question, yes I did, and their answer…
“There is no need to be sad and all, Hikaru, because in due time we know that we will be reunited. We would be together again, because in that place where they are, time is just a blink of the eye. Even if they die, they are still alive, here…” both pointed at their chest “…in our hearts”
I wonder if they really met. It was five years ago since that happened. Well I hope they did. Because those guys, they really love each other right?
“You fools,” he kneeled down “…I kept my promise you know…” I lit a candle and placed two bouquets of flowers in front of two tombstones.
Kota Yabu and Kei Inoo-Yabu
Yuya Takaki and Daiki Arioka-Takaki
“Happy 5th death anniversary…” and the wind blew as if it was dancing with the fallen leaves that surround the grave.
